Moon "Cooperation with China and Russia Needed for Korean Peninsula Denuclearization"

Former President Moon Jae-in delivered a direct blow to the Yoon Seok-yeol administration's diplomacy, which is 'U.S.-centric,' stating that cooperation with China and Russia is also necessary for the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.

In a commemorative speech sent to the '4.27 Panmunjom Declaration 5th Anniversary Ceremony and Academic Conference' held at the Korea Exchange in Yeouido on the morning of the 27th, former President Moon pointed out, "There is no serious effort to manage the situation stably; rather, the parties are provoking and antagonizing each other as if competing, deepening distrust and conflict."

The 5th anniversary ceremony was jointly hosted by Gyeonggi Province, Saeui-jae, and the Korean Peninsula Peace Forum. Saeui-jae is a forum launched this year by former senior Blue House aides and ministers.

He assessed, "The situation on the Korean Peninsula has become more intense than ever due to the unstable international situation marked by escalating confrontations," and added, "South Korea, North Korea, and the United States must make joint efforts to restore dialogue."

He then advised the government, saying, "For the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, it is necessary to cooperate with China and Russia as well," and urged, "Before it is too late, I hope South and North Korea and the international community will promptly take steps toward restoring dialogue, easing tensions, and pursuing peace."

Meanwhile, on the 26th, former President Moon opened a bookstore in Pyeongsan Village, where his residence is located, increasing his contact with the public. Last year, through social networking services (SNS), he recommended the book 'The Birth of Jjangkkae-ism' by Professor Kim Hee-kyo of Kwangwoon University, saying, "It offers various perspectives on how to view China and the direction our diplomacy should take," providing diplomatic advice.
